Head Bolts and Exhaust Manifold Studs

Sedanman said

I reuse them and never had an issue. The modern mopar manuals say to not reuse them but they use inferior bolts nowdays compared to the old stuff. I have some spare washers and etc from a /6 I tossed let me know if you need anything. I don't know why the used 2 different threads on 1 bolt and I don't see why you can't just use a coarse bolt and be done with it. I'd check bolt depth in the head and figure out what length you need from there if you choose that route.

Thats pretty much what I was thinking also. I called a local machine shop and he said I could reuse the head bolts. I am going to try your carb bolts and see if that works.

Thanks for all of the help. I found a 68 Valiant 4 door that I was going to part out, but its too clean to do so. Bad part is it's been sitting since 96 so the valves were stuck. I think i'm through the worst of the issues and it should be running by the weekend.

Again, thanks for the help.
